[mso] Re: help opening files

And was there an option for Word 2003 files?
 
Well, I suppose anything is possible with the recovery, but the mention of  
"little boxes" tells me you have data, but data that Office 2007 doesn't  
understand.
 
If you have a non-confidential file that you would like to send me as an  
example, I can try opening it with Office 2003 (but I won't be able to do that  
until about 8pm Eastern).

Did you try looking  under the "Open" dialog? In Word 2003, there are a  
number of options  to pick under "Files of type" (including, by the way, Word 
 
2007  
formats) and I imagine 2007 has something similar.

I am assuming  you are using Word, but the other Office products have  
similar  
options.

Were the  files  created with Office 2007? If not (and I don't have 2007 to   
check)  there is probably an option to open the files in an older  format. 
(The   
little boxes mean that those characters are  not recognized).

Hi,
I'm  looking for advice.? My hard drive  crashed, and my data was   
"supposedly" 
recovered.? I installed Office  2007 and when I try  to open files,  all I 
get 
is a bunch of little  boxes.? Any  ideas on how to    proceed?
Thanks!
